the Tao of bad government: if you really want to get rid of a law, act and think at all times as if it doesn't even exist.
I accept that that's one way of going about things, but I challenge you to demonstrate conclusively that it is the only means to generate political interest in opposition to a law. I happen to disagree with this, and I refuse to accept the wacky notion that by explaining to somebody that what they're doing is in violation of a pointless stupid law, and explaining why it's only through wide exposure of that pointless stupidity that the law and others like it can be struck down, that I am unwittingly strengthening the law.
